turn key contractor / general contractor agreement


Explanation:
With a "turn key contract", the owner has only one contract party who is responsible for the planning, design, and execution of the project all the way to start-up, although the actual work may in turn be sublet to different sub-contractors. A "general contractor" is normally responsible only for the execution.
